Re: most important recent decisions

Thanks Yvette, and everyone else. I have been flooded off list and on; will try to provide a summary in a few days or a week Barksdale, Yvette wrote: Hi Paul I would add Raich to that list - because it was the first case that significantly narrowed the potential scope of Morrison and Lopez with respect to Congress' authority to regulate purely intrastate, arguably non- economic activity. Other cases had either addressed clearly interstate activity (driver's license info case), or hid behind narrow statutory construction (ex.
